Black Carib Inspirational Travel is not your typical travel services company. Unlike other firms which focus primarily on selling packaged adventures or transportation services, Black Carib Inspirational Travel is geared towards promoting indigenous cultures in the country and empowering them through a shared experience of traditional and legacy knowledge, music, culture, food, and dance.

Black Carib Inspirational Travel works with all of the indigenous cultures of Belize, including Creole, Mestizo, Maya, and Garifuna in an effort to improve cross-cultural awareness and improved understanding. Instead of drive-by visits or tourist trap-style fake cultural performances, Belize Cultural Adventure Travel Services works directly with the indigenous cultures to help them preserve and protect their ancient traditions.

Activities offered by Black Carib Inspirational Travel include workshops on making traditional foods from scratch, village home stays, and music and dance performances.

At Belize Cultural Adventure Travel Services, the empowerment of local communities comes first. That's why a portion of all proceeds goes towards funding an annual cultural entrepreneurship and indigenous cultural preservation summer camp.

Belize Cultural Adventure Travel Services is a sister company of the Palmento Grove Cultural & Fishing Lodge located in Hopkins, Belize, which is a Garifuna community that actively works to protect and promote traditional Garifuna culture.

Fantastic tour with lovely people!
We had a wonderful time on this dinner tour. The owner of Palmento is so lovely and extremely knowledgeable, and answered all my many questions about the indigenous people of Belize. The drummers were great, and the entire experience was very intimate, low key, and relaxing. It was a great way to spend our last evening in Belize!
